ZisBoomBah

ZisBoomBah has created a website to help parents create kid-friendly dinners with the help of their children. Through their free, fun and educational game, Pick Chow!, kids get to enjoy playing with different dinner choices – in order to achieve the highest score possible, they must create a balanced nutritious meal.

Once their meal is created, kids can learn from Add it Up Meters and Stars to see how healthy their meal is. After they have finished with their selections, they can save their dinners and ZisBoomBah sends the recipe off to their parents! It’s a great way to get kids involved with dinner while teaching them the importance of making smart food choices.

Visit ZisBoomBah’s website to learn more about how they answer the age-old question, “What’s for dinner?”
